Dolly Shotcamera is on a dolly to follow the subject (moving shot)

Discuss with students the camera set up, where the camera is set up and where the subject stands, using different camera shots. Also it is very important to use a Tri Pod at all times while shooting, if it is a moving shot a dolly is needed and can be created using charts or scooter.
